Now, the world-famous playwright lives a solitary life in the New England countryside, far from the relentless glare of the spotlight. Until Boston reporter Kristin Kennedy shows up.

Braving the worst blizzard to hit Massachusetts in decades, Kristin finds herself stranded in the middle of nowhere with no hope of rescue. Then she wakes up buck naked in a stranger's bed. She couldn't have predicted the desire that would spark between them, plunging her into an affair with a man shadowed by secrets.

Is Justin a cold-blooded killer? As Kristin tries to piece together what happened five years ago, she finds that she's playing with fire, at the mercy of a murderer preparing to bring down the curtain on her final act.
